can we talk about Taper for a second? How much it sucks?! Like, I'm supposed to be eating carbs and calories out the wazoo but can't seem to stomach anything, I'm supposed to be healing but feel more sore and tired than any other point in the training block. THIS SUCKS

if it makes you feel better I felt like I was hobbling to the start line for Grandmas and was legitimately worried about being able to finish. Legs were sore as heck. Kept battling sickness. Just was not having a good time. By the end of the week leading up to the race I felt like a new man.

I find myself having the opposite issue right now. Coming off my sickness im actually feeling really good and am having trouble pulling back. My body's telling my brain I can do more than I know I should be doing. Thinking about running in our local parkrun saturday as my second workout of the week just to do something low key to shake the legs out a bit before next sunday.
